v1.1.2 on F-Droid + A few suggestions

[liamjack]

Great app, thanks for sharing ! I use it both for storing loyalty and gift cards as well as train / bus tickets.

Any chance you could publish v1.1.2 on F-Droid (latest available version is 1.1.11) ? I just discovered the "Smart scan" feature when building the app from source, it's great !

Here's a few suggestions for future features:

• i18n: Translate to different languages (can help with french)
• l10n: Allow the user to choose how to start the week (sunday / monday) for calendar display
• l10n: Allow currencies other than dollars (€, £...)
• Voucher validity start date (valid from) - Example: Ikea Gift card only valid from 26/12/2022
• Voucher groups: be able to group vouchers by shop for example

Unfortunately we can't publish this on fdroid anymore as it is using mlkit from google.

I think for now if something has a start date just put it in the notes. I'm hesitant to add more fields, as I would like to keep the app as simple as I can.

@tim-smart Thanks for your reply, do you think the MLKit functionality could be enabled / disabled with some kind build flag to be able to continue publishing a "google-free" version of the app (my main reason for using the app) ? Only other solution I can think of is a fork if not ?

Not sure, if you figure out how to conditionally swap out the barcode scanning in a separate build flavor then I'll accept a PR :)

[liamjack]

I'll look into it !

also came here after seeing the "source code is no longer available, no updates possible" warning on FDroid and worrying something had happened to the app - glad to see the source is still here and still GPLed.

i do notice that the barcode/QR code scanning functionality is something supported by microG - a FOSS reimplementation of some google API's - maybe thats still too close to google APIs for Fdroids liking, but it may be worth taking a look at: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Implementation-Status

another potential option may be to publish your own custom Fdroid repo like some other apps and companies (like FUTO, newpipe, etc) have done
